Verdict

The Voigtlander Ultron 40mm f/2 SL II is a welcome addition to the fix-focal
length segment of the market which isn't overly well supplied by the big
manufacturers. The Ultron is a very sharp lens straight from the max. aperture
but especially around f/5.6. The amount of distortions and vignetting is
generally negligible in field conditions. Lateral Chromatic aberrations are a bit
higher than average but they don't reach worrisome levels. The biggest problem
of the lens is the only average quality of the bokeh @ f/2 - the out-of-focus
rendition. This is a bit unfortunate because this is one of the primary
playgrounds for such a large aperture lens. The build quality of the lens is
exceptionally high and it is a joy to use it in field conditions despite or maybe
because of the lack of AF. Regarding its size and weight is a nice companion for
travels - less so for portrait photography.
